    I thought it. They are great straight line cars, and you can carry 5 comfortably and still fit a few bodies in the trunk. Thats great and all but it is a typical big body american car and sucks ass in the twisties. i like to do more then just go fast in a straight line with my cars or i would own a 60's-70's muscle car...

    You dont have to be good in "twisties" to be a good fast car lol. Some people specialize in straight line 0-100 as quick as possible, others just try and maintain a high speed through corners... The GN is quick and looks bad ass = P

    I love the car dont get me wrong , but being as i can only afford one car i decided not to get a car that is designed as a top speed/ high speed / straightline acceleration car. that's so i traded some tops speed and acceleration for some handeling and (most important at this stage in life) reliability.

    Some day i would love to get one as my daily

    WE4 Regal>Grand National

    T types are the shit. But...galant over them all!!!

    Actually I looked for a few years for a GNX and could never find a decnt one. Had about 20 to spend and damn if those owners dont know what they are worth....didnt want to settle on a national.

    Wait a minute the older Audi S4 isn't there, if you get them now they are kick ass bargins. But they still aren't as fast overall as an STi.

    True, but the luxury level of an S4 > STi

    Porsche 911 turbo, of course. How could you not put that in there?

    You left out the most important ones as well: Supra TT, 3000GT VR-4, RX-7, 300ZX TT

    Your list would include the mr2 if that were the case.

    That said, mr2 all the way.

    The MR2 Turbo has been out of production for years so it don't count by default.
